RYAN NEWMAN QUOTES:
What’s been the quickest thing you’ve picked up at Dover International Speedway?
“Dover is just a lot of fun. The way the transition is of getting down into the corners and then climbing the hill up the straightaway makes it a lot of fun to drive. The concrete doesn’t typically change a whole lot. Typically, when you get your car right there, it stays that way.”
What is the hardest thing to learn at Dover International Speedway?
“More recently, it’s harder to pass now than it’s ever been at Dover.”
